We got a letter from the Census today. Warning us that in one week we'll be getting the actual census. Are they seriously sending letters to people to tell them that they'll be sending another letter? That's prudent government spending right there.
I'm a good little liberal. I like most gov't programs. Schools, roads, libraries, welfare, the whole socialist shebang. I'm even ok with most taxes. I support the census, more information is an important part of getting the most use out of all those nice little programs. So can you please stop being idiots about how you run all these nice little ideas? When lefty me thinks the waste can be a bit crazy sometimes, you have a bit of a problem.
I swear, if I'm ever working for gov't, my cynicism and easily swayed moral compass would be so hard to not embezzle a little. Hey, as long as we're wasting money, why not waste it on me? Oh look, just like that I've forever disqualified myself from public office. Ooopsie.
Hahahaha, I feel the same exact way.
ReplyDeleteThey sent you a pre-emptive warning letter for the census? Oy.
ReplyDeleteI got the same letter from the Census, and had the same reaction. how many thousands of dollars did they spend on paper, envelopes and postage to send this nonsense? It reminds me of a time when a friend of mine got a letter from their credit card saying that they still owed 30 cents for a late fee. The stamp to send the letter cost more than that. Stupid.
ReplyDeleteWe got the same stupid letter. I'm so glad that I know my cencus form is coming.
ReplyDeleteOh, that stupid "the census is coming" letter. My husband and I were both expressing our frustration of that senseless spending last night. And the letters after the Superbowl ads! Bah.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. A preemptive to the pre-emptive.
ReplyDeleteSee, where I work, we're lucky if it is sent at all. That's the opposite for government for you.
